The sad thing is that people under 30 are by and large buying into her view of things. They think the job of government is to give them stuff and do things for them so life is good.
The concepts of liberty and individual freedom AND responsibility are alien things to them, covers for "selfishness". (I was recently told I believed in this selfishness, even though the person telling me this makes three times what I make in a year--and *I'M* the selfish one for "not wanting to share with those who have less." I asked him "I'll share with anyone in this room who makes less per year than I do." Silence.)
The libs have maneuvered so that if one questions this collectivist vision you are laughed off as a McCarthyite who finds commies under your bed.
The death of honest discussion of the IDEAS behind what this country was founded to be will pave the way to socialism in the USA. "Labels don't mean anything", which translates into "We don't care what it's called, just give us stuff--healthcare, housing, etc. The 'fat cats' have theirs, we deserve ours!"
They "deserve" this stuff because they were born. They don't have any idea who an economic system works, and their idea of a political system is "a system that redistributes wealth so no one goes hungry or has need."
This mindset trickles down into the individual, where liberal teachers engage students over FEEEEEEEELING instead of intellect. I have teachers in my school who can't spell teaching kids who can't spell, and the admins don't care.
Geez, did I go off on a tangent...
Wait a minute! Just last year we were hearing from all the Democrats about how BAD it all was and how the Middle Class was in dire straights. "Worse Economy since Hoover" etc etc etc. So which is it Democrats?
You always can identify a lib when the individual refutes or challenges the fact that tax-cuts actually bring in revenue. Of course, a true socialist or commie wouldn’t even bother arguing the point... they’d either change the subject or start calling you cruel... or racist.
